Initial trailers and screens for Mordor were uninspiring, showing an Assassin’s Creed-like stealth-em-up with a Middle-earth sheen.
Occasional gems have been found among the rough, but ultimately fans of the franchise have always been left wanting something more. Like Batman, Tolkien’s genre-defining fantasy opus is a license that has never really been used to its potential. The license had been abused so much, we just couldn’t trust anyone to do it justice, not even Warner Brothers.įive years later, and history has been repeating itself like a bad curry ever since Warner Brothers announced Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. It’s not that we didn’t know it was coming we’d seen trailers and hype and lofty promises, but none of us truly expected Arkham Asylum to be as good as it was. A few years ago a little studio named Rocksteady came careening out of left field to hit us with what turned out to be the greatest Batman game that ever was.
Repaid in Blood, which requires you to finish one Vendetta mission, can still be unlocked, and so can The Hunt is My Mistress and Lord of the Ring, which were originally dependent on leaderboard scores.Sometimes the very best things don’t come right for you like a South Park deer, they blind-side you out of nowhere. However, thanks to Shadow of Mordor’s final update, you’ll still be able to hunt achievements – even the ones tied specifically to those online features. You won’t be able to pick up Vendetta missions any more, and the leaderboards are “no longer connected to other users” (which kind of removes the point of having leaderboards). In a brief update on the official site, WB Games explains that “certain features” of Shadow of Mordor are no longer available as of January 12 – those will be features like the Nemesis Forge, which allowed you to port your Shadow of Mordor nemesis over to the sequel, Middle-earth: Shadow of War. That’s not the case with Shadow of Mordor, however: thanks to a final update, you’ll be able to continue playing, even earning achievements tied to the game’s multiplayer features. The action-adventure game’s online servers shut down January 12, and for many games, that’s the end of the line – once the servers are off, there’s no more game.
Yesterday marked the end of an era for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.
